Signal Integrity Principal Engineer

Electrical Principal Engineer (Signel Integrity Development)

Dell is looking for bright and motivated engineers in the field of electrical and computer engineering to work on architecting and developing the next generation of computing servers. Specifically, you will have the opportunity to work with our engineers in the fields of high-speed signal integrity with a system design focus for server platforms. We work closely with designers, cross-functional teams within Dell Technologies and suppliers to make sure electronic designs meet a range of requirements, including schedule, feature set, functionality and quality, as well as industry standards.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as an Electrical Principal Engineer on our Core Hardware Development team in TDC.

What you’ll achieve
As a Signal Integrity Engineer, you will be responsible for driving innovation in the field of Signal Integrity pushing the boundaries of next generation high speed signaling.  The team members are accomplished industry experts with multiple patents and publications.  The SI team focuses on innovative solutions around portfolio-wide transmission line challenges in the design and support of enterprise server platform development. You will work with Dell internal engineering teams and lead ODMs on DELL Core Power Edge Server and AI Server or Storage products.

You will:

• Work with key silicon and passive component suppliers to obtain information, documentation and models required to enable simulation of assigned interfaces and technologies. Develop, test and validate simulation models to ensure the accuracy of simulation results through correlation studies. Perform analysis of electrical designs and simulate viable routing, material, and interconnect solutions to define a "solution space" and develop design constraints for new high-speed interfaces.

• Devise optimized simulation strategies necessary to characterize worst case system conditions for high volume manufacturing and environmental variations. Work with Electrical Engineers, PCB Layout and other Simulation Engineers to develop and ensure appropriate delivery and compliance of recommended layout design constraints. Develop design and validation guidelines required to successfully implement new technologies and interfaces across a broad range of platforms and development partners across the Dell product portfolio.

• Participate in design reviews for platforms being developed internal and external to Dell and provide guidance based on signal integrity rules and best practices.

• Lead the development of electrical validation test plans for new technologies and assist in the resolution of signal integrity issues before they impact product delivery and/or quality.

• Engage with key technology and strategic suppliers to co-develop platform guidelines and simulation tools and to collaborate on future technology directions and ecosystem challenges associated with high frequency interfaces and materials.

Take the first step towards your dream career
Every Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table. Here’s what we are looking for with this role:

Essential Requirements

• Thorough understanding of transmission line theory and electromagnetic field theory.

• Experience in Signal Integrity tools and applications of 2D, 3D, and Power Integrity simulation tools.

• Experience in advanced test and measurement equipment for Signal Integrity tasks.

• Experience in analogue and digital circuit theory and principles.

• Experience in negotiating with customer regarding issues and ability to successfully persuade with solutions.

Desirable Requirements
